string mode again

I have devoted more time to strings

partly because of being thousands of miles away from my sewing machine

on getaway, enjoying California sunshine

but what got me ultra excited is

you can make a lot of innovative projects with them

bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, headbands, belts, camera straps.......

all right, any will do

whip-up fever

 

I have been meaning to try some new medium

on my to-do list

making bracelet with strings is one of them

all I need is some multi colored embroidery floss

it is pretty much like a warm up exercise for me

because I can't resist to make many more of them

 

 

 



start wrapping

I will be traveling very soon
a versatile handbag at the top of my agenda
it has to be light and decent-sized
 something comfortable yet chic enough
with which  I can go to a nice restaurant
without feeling awkward

 as the result,  I make myself a navy blue wrap bag
with vintage inspired print
it looks like a half vest when slinging over the shoulder

zipper pocket on tote bag

I found myself making different pocket designs on tote bags
given that there are many misc items to bring when going out
I need to get organized
pockets have a practical purpose
they keep my stuff easily at hand

this time I play around with zipper

eye for fish scale pattern

I got a thing for fish scale pattern

partly because I am a pisces

with multiple layers, it is quite vibrant and playful

I start with bag bottom first

be expect more experiments 

Valentine's Day

Happy V-day to everyone

have a great time with loved one
